The Importance of Fertilization
Fertilizing a pond before stocking is essential to stimulate the growth of phytoplankton and zooplankton. These "natural foods" are the primary source of nutrition for young fish and can significantly reduce your initial feed costs.
Standard Preparation Rates
While rates vary by soil type, a common recommendation for initial preparation is roughly 100 kg of Urea and 50-75 kg of TSP per hectare. This tool uses a balanced average to provide a safe starting point for your pond.
